"Five-mile boardwalk, and surf-worthy waves" — Travel + Leisure
Hit Tacoway Beach for fish tacos after your session
The ferry ride from Wall Street is half the fun

Ride the only legal waves in NYC at this 5.5-mile sandy stretch where surfers, sunbathers, and taco seekers all find their place. The boardwalk hums with food stands, live music, and that rare city-meets-ocean energy.
